Christian! You have your priorities mixed up!!! Now pay attention: This is what is known is the pursuit of knowledge as the "Appeal to a false authority". An appeal to authority (also known as an appeal to false or unqualified authority) plays on people's feelings of respect or familiarity towards a famous person to bypass critical thinking. John Mayer, Travis Scott, Ed Sheehan, Mr. Sharktank, lenny Kravitz, or any other rock star or movie celebrity do not have requisite horological credentials required for discussion in this forum. This plays on the same fallacy of asking François-Paul Journe to discuss the merits and drawbacks of a Rickenbacker over a Gibson. Just because these 'celebrities' throw money at obscure wristwatches, does not give them 'authority'. Just like Yoko Ono does not share your horological credentials because she bought a Patek 2499 for John Lennon. (arguably a holy grail for most watch enthusiasts!) YOU, Christian, are an authority. YOU have the knowledge and your "10,000 hours" invested in this pursuit. YOU, along with others such as Teddy, Ben Clymer, and even Nico, should be noted as esteemed authorities. Nobody cares about John Mayer, Travis Scott, Ed Sheehan, Mr. Sharktank, or any other movie celebrity who just throw money at this hobby. Remember: John Mayer will not sit on stage during a concert, stop the show, and call YOU up onto his platform and ask YOU what you think of your Les Paul Guitar. I criticize because I want you to be *better* than pandering to 'celebrity' influencers.

Am I the only one absolutely sick of hearing about John in the watch world? Totally not a fan of how he conducts himself in watch videos. He comes across as extremely egocentric and self-centered. Having watched all the Hodinkee videos I have no idea why people rave about his appearances on camera so much.

You can’t both criticize what Travis Scott has done and mention Basquiat. Travis is doing exactly the same thing entering a space of people that don’t think he belongs in and selling at an incredible rate.

@gavinwhite9743 3 ай бұрын

John Mayer is a complete non entity in the UK. Only people that have heard of him are into watches. Funniest response yet…that dude who interviewed Ed Sheeran. As a watch ambassador, I find it authentic, but without weight. To be honest, get Taylor Swift to wear a Cartier, and Cartier wins, even if she couldn’t tell the time.

I think John Mayer is a lot of watch people’s Taylor Swift. Mayer is THE absolute tastemaker in the watch world. I watch his first Talking Watches at least 1x a month and I feel better, probably very similar to women who listen to Taylor Swift breakup songs and feels better about their lives.

John Mayer has always been careful not to come across as crass & vulgar with his watch collecting, if anything in his first 2 Talking Watches appearances on Hodinkee he came across as quite cool. His appearance with Ed Sheeran was a catastrophe, they both looked like spoilt dickheads with no connection to the real world.
